A Blind Life
Understanding is something so afar
Left in this life with a never ending scar
Nobody noticing as they all look up at a star
Alone I am invisible something so bizarre
Not seen not noticed at all
I pick up and dial the phone but it wont even call
So I get in my car only for it to stall
Helpless on the side of the road no one cares I am in for a long haul
Finally hope tired in pain I become pressed against the wall
You all play me like a damn chess game
Strategizing and making a plan in trying to replace my name
Confronting thy person and they say the moves are false in which the proclaim
Trying to stiff me up and freeze my life and put me in a frame
Don’t play me because my name I can always reclaim
My anger is not that of a mystery
Behind every hurtful word or put down it has a history
There is pain behind a door you don’t even know about
So don’t say you know my life when you on the wrong route
Don’t use other people in my life you try to scout
If your fake and false my life you can exit out
Your vision is blind in which I can’t be seen
I would rather be invisible rather than you see something so un-clean
There is no vision that lies between
Your blind so don’t act new when I become mean
My maturity and knowledge grew out of this world once I turned eighteen
Why you can’t see is a disease and sorry there is no vaccine
Any word can spark a fire so think before you joke
Because the wrong word you say just may invoke
The things people say are dirty so don’t talk just get some water and soap and soak
Your words I can’t swallow so I spit them back so I wont choke
So don’t call me mean and tell me to calm down when you’re the first one that spoke
When your vision becomes clear then you will be able to see
That what I write about is deeper than any damn sea
In a kitchen with the dangers that lie around you will be
Stabbed the invisible you did with that knife
Forever and ever I will refuse to be played as a game so instead ill live a blind life
